BDP9700 Firmware upgrade -V4.19 for /12, /51; V4.21 for /93 and /98

Dear All,

V4.19 is released to BDP9700/12, /51, & V4.21 is released for /93 and /98.

V4.21 & V4.19 includes the following changes:

Miracast feature has been enabled in this SW release. You can now use a Miracast certified mobile device to stream to the BDP. For more information about the Miracast feature, please refer to the BDP9700 FAQ from the product support page.

Things to note in V4.21 & V4.19:
o In compliance with new AACS requirements, Blu-ray playback via CVBS output is now disabled. Please watch your Blu-ray movies via HDMI connection.
o As we are moving to a more efficient browser firmware, certain SmartTV applications and services may not be available.
o USB keyboard and mouse will not work when used inside SmartTV. This will be fixed in the next SW release.

I have installed the new software now and done some testing.
The Philips is connected to a Yamaha RX-A3020A via the HDMI main and then on to a PanasonicTX-P65VT50. HDMI set to Bitstream.

The stuttering on 2D movies seems to be gone, but there is still some stuttering on 3D (about every 30 seconds). Also there is a new problem with the sound. On several movies like for instance the Pacific Rim there is no sound when the movie starts. The menus have sound. If you then turn off and on the Yamaha the sound normally returns, but not always.
You sometimes have to unplug the power cord on the Philips and hope for the best.
Changing the source back and forth on the Yamaha did help on older software but not now. Also if you try to change the sound track in movie the sound disappear. You then have to turn off the Philips, restart and then change the sound in the menu before you start the film.

This is much the same problems as I had with the older software, the V3.92 solved this problem for me. So it's back to basic again.

The settings on the Philips is exactly the same as with the 3.92V software. The Yamaha has the newest software installed.

I've installed the new firmware. The problem with losing the audio signal when I switch between chapters has been fixed, many thanks. But now I have an even bigger problem. I have no picture if the hdmi output is set to 1080/24hz. Before the update this worked fine. Please help.

There is another issue that was around for sometime. When playing those Blu Ray with the sound track of uncompressed 24/96, the optical output to my DAC display is only 24/48, but the DAC display 24/96 when playing 24/96 FLAC files. Wondering why the optical output is only 24/48 for those Blu ray with 24/96 audio track.
